"Good morning sir, ma'am." The Sgt at the sign-in desk greeted Sam and
Jack.
"Morning." Sam said cheerily. "Did you have a good time on Saturday?"
"Yes ma'am. It was a beautiful wedding, even if the music selection was interesting ma'am."
"Best to blame Selmak for that." Sam said with a smiled.
"Colonel, General Hammond wants to see you in his office right away." The Sgt informed Jack.
"Any ideas why?" Jack inquired.
"No sir, but he did receive an eyes only document from the Pentagon this morning." Jack glared at him. "Not that I have that information sir. Ma'am, also Major Davis is here and was looking for you."
"Thank you Sgt. Have a nice day." Sam said as she swiped her security card to open the elevator.
"I guess he works fast." Jack said as the elevator doors closed.
"Who does?" Sam inquired.
"The Secretary of Defence." Jack replied.
"What did you ask him to do?"
"Look into Myles background."
"You're still not comfortable with him?" Sam questioned.
"No. Something is up. Have a nice day dear." He winked at her as they came to the floor for the locker room.
"You're not changing?"
"I'll see Hammond then I'll change."
"Okay sir."

"General you wanted to see me?" Jack said tapping on Hammond's door.
"Did you talk to the Secretary of Defence about some concerns regarding Commander Hartman?"
"Er yes sir. The Secretary said he'd have someone look into it."
"He did." Hammond placed a three inch thick file on the desk in front of Jack.
"His file is thicker than mine." Jack said.
"Take a look at the first page. It appears your instincts were correct."
Jack opened the first page. He looked at the beginning of the bio then his eyes glanced to the photo. "That's not the Myles Hartman who spent the last week walking around the base."
"No it's not."
"Sir, do you realise how much information he's had access to, how much Sam and Daniel have told him, what he's seen. Hell he's even been off world with us."
"I know. The fake Myles Hartman has been arrested and is being detained at a top security Air Force facility in a padded room. He's having no contact with anyone."
"How did he gain access to the base? And manage to impersonate a Naval Lieutenant Commander?"
"His records checked out. The records have been changed right up the line, they only found about it because the Pentagon has a secure set of records for every man or woman who has ever served in the US Military, in a secure location that can only be accessed by a few people. Hardly anyone knows of their existence."
"So why did they check it now if all the records have been accepted now?"
"Someone noticed a slight error in the formatting. They brought it to the Secretary's attention and he ordered them to check it against these files."
"So there's going to be an investigation into what we told them?" Jack was concerned about Sam.
"I told Sam she had permission to tell him everything he needed or wanted to know. The only exception was not to tell him about the dialling computer. But the Navy have been fooled for years too. So it's not our fault. Major Davis is going to have to interview everyone on the base that would have told him anything about the gate and our personnel. He's going to start with Sam."
"Er... sir. Cassie told him she was an alien, when she was trying to warn him away from Janet."
"I'll inform the Major."
"Yes sir."
"Go and get changed I'm sure Major Davis will want to talk to you too."
"Yes sir."

"Major Davis, it's nice to see you again. It's a shame you couldn't make it to the wedding on Saturday." Sam said as she found him in her lab.
"I had an obligation in Washington I couldn't get out of. I need to talk to you about something."
"What?" Sam asked switching on her computer.
"I need you to tell me everything you told Myles Hartman."
"Why?" Sam asked.
"Because the person you thought was Myles Hartman wasn't."
"Excuse me? If he wasn't Myles Hartman how did he get clearance for the base, I mean everyone who even sneezes near the base entrance is thoroughly checked out and then rechecked. . How did he fool everyone into thinking he was Myles Hartman?"
"Because he's been pretending for a long time. And all his records have been expertly changed to say he's Myles Hartman. We have him in custody at a secure location. I need to know everything you told him."
"This could take a while, we took him off world last week and we told him lots of stories."
"Start at the beginning and we'll go from there." Davis prompted.
"Okay."
